AGAIN – AT 10:22 A.M. ET:  There has been an Islamic terror attack in Belgium, and three people, including two policewomen, have been killed.  From Reuters:

LIEGE, Belgium (Reuters) - A man killed two policewomen and a bystander in the Belgian city of Liege on Tuesday before being shot dead in a gun battle at a school in what prosecutors are treating as a terrorist attack.

The man was named by public broadcaster RTBF as a 36-year-old petty criminal who had been let out on day-release from a local prison on Monday. It said investigators were looking into whether he had converted to Islam and been radicalized in jail.

A public prosecutor told a news conference that the man attacked the policewomen from behind with a knife, described as a box-cutter by RTBF, around 10:30 a.m. (4.30 a.m. ET) on a boulevard in the center of Belgium’s third city, near the German border.

After stabbing the officers, prosecutor Philippe Duple said, the man seized one of their handguns and shot both women dead before walking down the street and shooting dead a 22-year-old man who was sitting in the passenger seat of a parked car.

And…

La Lib re Oblique newspaper quoted a police source as saying the gunman shouted “Allah Ak bar” — God is greatest in Arabic.

COMMENT:  I'm sure the Islamist angle will be played down by the usual left-wing suspects in European governments.  Or, we will be told this is a "lone wolf." 

Europe and, yes, Britain, seem to be playing down Islamist attacks these days.  Wonder if it has anything to do with encouraging trade deals with the Islamic nation of Iran.  Just gaskin'.
